HIP HOTELS
These Hip Hotels are all about winter action and sharp style. The choice of ski hotels has becoming mind-boggling - and overwhelmingly mediocre. At last Herbert Ypma proves that there are alternatives to the tired formulae of the typical resort hotel, whatever your taste or destination. An authentic ranch on the Colorado high prairie or a Renaissance castle in the southern Tirol; a 400-year-old Austrian farmhouse or hard-edge snowboarder style - the possibilities are inspiring. The recently renovated Hôtel les Dromonts in the French Alps is a wonder of 1960s organic style in a building shaped like a fir cone. Or take in the jagged peaks of Italy's Dolomite mountains from your balcony at Hotel Ancora in Cortina d'Ampezzo. PlumpJack in Squaw Valley, California, is a funky fantasy of burnished metal and heraldic style. Maybe you prefer the romantic haven of Sundance, Robert Redford's unspoilt retreat, where you can cosy up in your own mountain cottage after a day of Utah's legendary powder.
